As the WNBA enters an era of increased exposure and popularity, the Mercury are one of the league’s crown jewels.
â–¶ Prediction time: Who will win the series and in how many games? Who will win finals MVP?
Huff: The Mercury have put together an encouraging run thus far, despite other teams’ injuries, and have clear momentum entering Friday night — they’ve been the best team this postseason, in my honest opinion. That said, even with the Aces having struggled to put away some of the lower seeds, I’m picking them to win this series. Vegas defeated Phoenix in three of the teams’ four matchups this season, with the Aces’ lone loss being a game A’ja Wilson missed due to being in the league’s concussion protocols. All seven games will be needed, however, with homecourt advantage ultimately being what does it for head coach Becky Hammon’s squad. Wilson collects her second Finals MVP award along the way to add to her trophy room.
